Halifax police said Shepard has been assessed as being a high risk to re-offend.

She was released with a number of strict conditions, including an 11 p.m. until 6 a.m curfew. She must also report any changes in her appearance and she cannot access the internet. Shepard is also required to report any romantic relationship to police so they can inform them of her past history.
